Tag: 10 grams fat

According to the FDA, for a food to be labeled "low fat," it must contain 3 grams of fat or less per serving. This makes it clear that a product with 10 grams of fat per serving would typically not be considered low fat, though context is always important.

For a 2,000-calorie diet, healthy adults are typically recommended to consume 44 to 78 grams of total fat per day. A daily intake of only 10 grams is significantly below this and considered dangerously low. The question is not simply 'Is 10 grams of fat a day too much?', but rather, what are the serious health consequences of consuming too little fat.
